She's
someone who believes that everyone's born with a particular talent;
creating fresh, informative copy happens to be hers.
A Connecticut
native, she brings to the table nearly 10 years of experience as
a copywriter, journalist, consultant and Web designer. Throughout
her career, Booker-Brown has worked with companies of all sizes
nationwide, including:
•
Weekly Reader Corporation
• Pitney Bowes
• Time Warner
• John Frieda
• WWE
• Essence Communications
• CB Commercial
• UBS Warburg
• Southern Connecticut State University
Booker-Brown
has contributed articles to various print and online publications,
including Stamford Advocate, Fairfield County Weekly, New Haven
Register, MediaBistro.com, HealthQuest, Essence, Vibe, Honey and
XXL. On the "creative" side, she's the designer,
creator and editor of Triscene.com (an online magazine that covers
the New York and Connecticut area), and has written many small
business articles for the Web.
As
the owner/founder of a successful virtual assistance practice, Booker-Brown
also provided creative and administrative assistance to other small
business owners via email, phone and fax. She soon realized that
the value her clients found in her copywriting services began to
stand apart from her general offerings. She became known for the
copy she generated for their press releases, bios, websites, brochures,
flyers and presentations, and it eventually led to her full-time
copywriting business.
How
does Booker-Brown describe her writing style? “I'm not just
a copywriter—I'm also a consumer, and as such I appreciate
it when I'm spoken to in a straightforward, friendly, conversational
voice. Just give me the information without the meaningless jargon,”
she laughs. “I try to keep that in mind and follow the same
formula when I write for my clients.”
And
now for the personal stuff...
In her spare time, Booker-Brown enjoys open-mic spoken word, “serious”
karaoke competitions and trading witty barbs with the unseen in
online discussion forums. While she's in the gym working off the
pecan pie she adores a bit too much, her iPod's playing everything
from Steely Dan to Prince to A Tribe Called Quest. Booker-Brown
resides in southern Connecticut with her husband, infant daughter
and snobbish-but-lovable cat, Misha.
